I am a smoker and just the other day i coughed up an odd looking blister which appears to be from the back of my throat, and now my throat hurts like hell, is this cancer, cause honestly the blister looked bloody a bit, and i had a little bit of blood that was mixed with some saliva i spit up as well for a bit, the bleedings gone but im wondering if should get it checked out, or if its just a sore throat, it was uncommonly cool when i slept the other night too im wondering if it has anything to do with it. Need some help!! Thanks

I am allergic to all kinds of nuts (peanuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, etc.). If I eat a nut, my mouth starts to burn and swell up.The weird thing is, I can eat creamy peanut butter with no problem. Someone told me the reason why this is, but I do not remember what it was. Can you please help?

I was at the dr's this morning and my blood pressure reading was on the high side (135/90), my dr assured me she never goes by just one reading, but I am a bit perplexed as to why my blood pressure would be higher than normal. I am healthy, 27 years old, highly active (run 30 miles a week), eat healthy, healthy weight, and I wasn't nervous at all (my pulse at the time was 58 beat per minute). what can be other causes to high blood pressure? or was this just a fluke?

She was diagnosed 10 mnths ago w/lung cancer. It was removed thr surgery. 6 months ago she had spots return on her other lung, colon, and spin. I do not know much on the subject of cancer.This sounds horrible to me, but I think it is a positive that treatment is shrinking the cancer. Is it possible for this to be treated and go away completely?

Well i was wondering, when a person has mono, it usually lasts maybe weeks or months. And then it turns into the EBV right? Well how do you exactly catch mono? I know where and how you can get it, but when do you get it, as in if the person is active with the mono virus? can you get it when the virus isnt active in their system? Or when the mono has turned into EBV? i need some info on this please...The thing is, im worried i have mono, but im not exactly sure if i do or not. I have a little lump on the left side of my neck under my ear area, and when i push on it, it feels a little sore. I dont have a sore throat at all or have had one. Ive had low grade fever, maybe around 99.2 degrees, around there usually. and ive been a little achy. Yes, i know it could be a cold, but i have no other symptoms but that. no runny nose or anything. Im not even sure if my boyfriend has or ever had mono! hes never told me, and i would have never known if he did. give me some info please. thanks

As I've already stated started participating in Yahoo's Q&A yesterday. Today I'm told I've reached the limit for answering questions. Now here's my question. I'm a Registered Nurse in Texas, a diabetic and currently tring to recover from a Severe MRSA, infection. I was wanting to stay busy, so I thought I would donate my time during recovery to health questions on Yahoo. Not really interested in points system, but have a true desire to answer medical questions in the most honest, knowledgable why that I can. So why limit me?????? Does all you folks out there in cyber land agree with this limit. If so I thank you for your time and will move on.

Hi, not as in hello, but hi as in an abbreviation for HIGH or something, but we're not sure what. This is really urgent, cos that is what the meter reading is when we tested my grandmothers blood sugar levels and we don't know what it means, or what to do... HELP. And she's not on insulin, so that is not an option
